- gjulianm 6y agoYeah, it was the thing that made me choose it instead of other alternatives. I manage machines in heterogeneous client networks without direct Internet access most of the time and agents for managing infrastructure are not useful at all.
- peterwwillis 6y agoYes, but it's also horrible to use. I would rather set up a Puppet agent once than struggle with Ansible for an eternity.
- pricechild 6y agoWould I be right if I guessed you have a development background? For reference, I have an ops background.
- jeltz 6y agoI have a dev background and think that Ansible is much nicer to work with than Chef and Puppet.
- peterwwillis 6y agoNope, I'm an ops guy. Been banging my head against these tools for 15 years.
